Mom went to hospital. Then to rehab/nursing/respite home for only for 29 days at respite/rehab and was neglected abused, they lied to me... mama came home to pass away in my arms. No sibbligs even came to her funeral. Ive been alone. I loved my mama like she was my lil girl. We were getting very close. The place stole my mams from me. My sibblings refused mom, stole from her and dad.
The proceeds minus lawyer would be just yours if you're the only one named in the suit--but then again your chances are not high.
Try more like 115k for an easy case. Good attorney's want that as a retainer to start litigation.
We spent 500k suing a company that sold us a machine they knew never worked. Well, I should say they spent 500k on our attorney, because we proved fraud and won. It was a nightmare and I wouldn't suggest suing if you aren't positive of the outcome because it's not worth it.
However, let us assume that the lawsuit was filed and won. Who filed the lawsuit and on whose behalf was it filed? What was the settlement? The law will decide and the law will designate how the funds are divided.
More information may get better answers. Sure wish you the best and am sorry for your loss.
Have you filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the facility? I suspect not, as an attorney would have given you the answer to your question (and surely you won't be doing this without an attorney!).
From your profile, it's hard to understand why you took your abusive mother in and then cared for her for 2 years. Why did you?
Please help - I'm confused!
